Chapter 663: Repercussions
If the film project "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" was only communicated privately in the past, now Lin Zixuan has made it public and put it in front of the media. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The British media discovered that Lin Zixuan is not only a writer, but also the founder of a film company.
It was the film company that collaborated with Li Yu to produce "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," which is being released in the United Kingdom.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has gained popularity with audiences in the United Kingdom, and the box office has been soaring.
This gave the British people confidence that Good Dreams was a powerful film company.
It was with this that Lin Zixuan persuaded British film companies.
This is a world of strength, and only with successful cases can people be convinced.
The way these film companies raise funds is similar to Lin Zixuan's, mainly loans and financing.
London is a world-famous financial city, as long as there is a good project, do not worry about finding funds, provided that the project is packaged beautifully and has a selling point.
"Little Snow's Big Adventure" is a bestseller in the UK and is loved by readers, and this is the audience base.
This kind of children's movie belongs to the family carnival genre, there is no limit to the audience group, and with the magical background, it can attract the audience more and guarantee the box office.
With an investment of over £80 million, it is enough to produce a high-quality film.
The attitude of the royal family represented by Prince William is also a positive sign.
The combination of factors that made the project a hit from the day it was released was a prerequisite for success and a bargaining chip for funding.
The news was transmitted back to China, and various media carried out a large follow-up report.
In China, movies with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in the past can become headlines, but this time the investment is 800 million, from the disbelief at the beginning, to the subsequent reports.
Not only the entertainment page, but also the financial page, has become a hot topic among the people.
In particular, Time.com has played a big role in publicity, this is Lin Zixuan's own website, the most comprehensive news released, and the speed of network dissemination far exceeds that of paper media.
Time.com introduced the ins and outs of the whole project, including some details.
Several things have been confirmed, the total investment of "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" is indeed 800 million, and it is an investment in one film, not an investment in the entire series of movies.
Some domestic media mistakenly thought that the 800 million was an investment in the entire series of films.
They don't believe in using 800 million to make a movie, if it's a Hollywood film company, then it's no problem, when will the domestic film company have such courage.
It's a sign of lack of self-confidence, which is understandable, since no one has done it before.
At this time, the figure of 800 million is very shocking.
The annual salary of a worker is only a few tens of thousands, and the housing price in the capital is only about 5,000 yuan, which is enough to buy hundreds of villas and even build a large factory.
In this era when the real economy is dominant, the film and television industry belongs to the virtual economy and is not taken seriously.
The first reaction of ordinary people when they hear the news may be, 800 million to make a movie, crazy.
As a result, people from the financial community got involved to discuss the prospects for the development of the virtual economy.
Time.com clarified that this is an equal international cooperation.
Haomeng Company invested 400 million yuan and has the leading power of the project.
"Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" will be filmed in China, with the participation of Chinese actors, and Good Dreams will send production staff to the UK to cooperate with British filmmakers.
Some domestic media believe that these funds must be foreign-owned, and domestic film companies only play an auxiliary role.
In the past, there have been examples where such a large investment is made by foreigners who are the real dominant.
Compared with the heated discussions in the media, the domestic entertainment industry is slightly calm, but everyone is just digesting the news, and unlike outsiders, they feel more deeply.
Let's put it this way, when everyone used to talk about Hollywood, they might not care on the surface.
What is said that the Oscar is an award for Americans, Hollywood movies have no artistry, they are all assembly line operations, etc., but I know in my heart that there is a big gap between the domestic film industry and Hollywood.
Investment alone can't be compared.
Hollywood invests more than $40 million in about 250 films a year, and there are more than a dozen movies worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Now that Good Dreams suddenly announced that it would invest in a movie worth hundreds of millions of dollars, how can it not be shocking.
It's like pulling the domestic film industry to the point of being on par with Hollywood all of a sudden, and this is still a series of movies, which means that there will be investment of the same scale in the future.
In the past two days, the senior management of Good Dream Company has received countless calls with inquiries.
Even in the company, there are very few people who know about it.
Before the matter was settled, Lin Zixuan didn't want to make a fuss, only a few people such as Yu Dong and Feng Xiaogang knew the whole plan, and Feng Xiaogang, Ge You and Zhang Guoli supported Lin Zixuan.
They have been friends for more than 10 years and have this trust.
Moreover, with their current status, they don't have to worry about what will happen if they fail, and they still live by filming.
Yu Dong persuaded a few words, and seeing that Lin Zixuan insisted, he had no choice but to follow.
In the face of inquiries from insiders, the reply of Good Dream Company is that the situation is true, there is no need to worry, everything will be discussed with you in detail when Mr. Lin comes back from the UK.
At the same time, Yu Dong sent invitations to more than a dozen large-scale film and television companies in China.
Companies willing to participate in this project will come to Beijing at the end of the year to discuss cooperation.
These film and television companies have a certain strength, and they have a good relationship with Haomeng Company, mainly enterprises in Beijing.
According to the plan, Haomeng will borrow 250 million yuan from the bank, and there is a funding gap of 150 million yuan.
In this matter, everyone's focus is different.
Financiers are concerned about the development of the virtual economy, film and television companies are concerned about whether to take risks with Lin Zixuan, and people in the film and television industry are concerned about what benefits they can get from it.
As an agent, Xiao Ye focuses on the candidate for the leading role in the movie.
She was as confused as everyone else when she first heard the news, and then she began to inquire about the news, confirming the accuracy of the news, and when she confirmed it, she began to think.
Xiao Ye remembered Lin Zixuan's advice to let her learn more about foreign affairs, which should be a hint.
Zhao Liying is learning English, does Lin always want Zhao Liying to play the role of Xiaoxue?
In "Xiaoxue's Adventure", Xiaoxue is the starring role, and the role is very heavy, this is a $100 million production, and Zhao Liying is likely to become an international movie star because of this.
He will become the agent of an international movie star.
Happiness came so quickly, Xiao Ye's heart was pounding, and she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
No, you must not let up until the role is decided.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ye left the company and went to Zhao Liying's school, she had to discuss with Zhao Liying and must take down the role.
Xiao Ye was right, many people in the circle were eyeing this role.
